About

Ten years of ERP and master data work, now paired with BI and applied AI.

I help teams get their ERP and master data right, and I turn that data into reports and simple AI tools people can use. My background is SAP ECC master data and procurement, including S/4HANA discovery, and I keep my migration skills sharp in a lab on synthetic data. Try the BI and applied AI demos above.

Based in Ontario. Open to full-time or contract roles, remote across Canada.
